Emergency medicine in OnG

It is important for us to know how to prepare the medications,especially during obstetrics emergency.

Procedures that need to be go through after medical course in Malaysia.

Well,I'm going to share with you the procedures to apply to become a houseman in Malaysia.
First of all, you need to get a few things to prepare.

1. You need to apply through SPA online and fill up the application form.
2. Get and fill the Borang Maklumat Diri form,whereby you need to fill up your hospital preference where you want to work to.

After that...THE INTERVIEW PART

1. Prepare for interview,whether the pegawai SPA will come to your university or you need to go to certain centres allocated (depends on your insititution)
-Well, for my interview, we were devided in a group of 5 people.
-There will be 2 interviewers- One is from the KKM (Doctors), the other one is from SPA.
-Usually they just asked you some random question: They asked us to introduce ourselves,our hobbies,what field do you want to specialized on in future.
-Basically, NO NEED to study anything for the interview.=D


Then, AFTER YOU HAVE FINISHED YOUR MEDICAL COURSE
1. Apply for provisional registration for houseman through MMC,get a so called blue letter which is the ticket for our induction letter on.
2. Wait for the SPA and MMC to send back the documents to you that are needed to be filled before the induction.


FOR INDUCTION
-usually after 1//2 months after you have done your medical course.
-It will be in 1 week,and you will know where you will be working on the first day of the induction,and you will start to work immediately after the induction.
-You will attend several seminars and classes and a test at the end of the induction.
-You can appeal for the placement of hospitals and will get to know the results on the last day of the induction.

 

Portfolio and Sem10

Portfolios writing are really troublesome,you have to know from the moment being admitted to discharge.Although you learn and reflect at the same time,but I think all these also can be done in other ways.

For me,I think a better way of learning is through viva assessment,rather than writing down in a paper.For instance,if a patient came in with aecoad,what are the acute and long term management for the patient?if we do not know thaw answer,only then we need to write it in a piece of paper and submit to the tutor.
Last week,I went to oncall with my. Friends together with a lecturer.It is rather good experience as the lecturers makes it like a short case style and we discuss the theory and practical point of clinical medicine from there.I think that's another cool way o learn medicine.In fact,i just realized there are official websites where there is an active online interaction between lecturer and student,which is another good way for us to learn.

Medicine isn't about sitting down and writing a good portfolio,medicine is about seeing patient and get involve in managing them on the spot,of cause with some guidance from the seniors and superiors.

Again,instead of writing portfolio,I refer we discuss some practical problems tht a houseman will fade in the future,besides consolidate our theory knowledge and clinical skills.Also,if possible,I would like to involve more in terms of managing the patient.Procedures sun as venupuncture and setting up branula must be practiced til perfect before we step into worki g life.
How I wish I can spend more time on learning in hospital and brushing up my clinical competency instead of sitting in my room typing out my reports.
